The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Rembrandt, produced around 166162. It depicts an episode from Tacitus's Histories of the Batavian rebellion (AD6970), led by the one-eyed chieftain Claudius Civilis. The painting was commissioned by the city council of Amsterdam for the Town Hall, and was originally Rembrandt's largest-ever painting. It was placed briefly in the town hall but eventually returned to Rembrandt, who may never have been paid for the work. In financial difficulties, he was forced to cut the painting down in size and partly repaint it, after which it was sold. After passing between various private owners, it was eventually deposited in the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, and is now in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.Painting credit: RembrandtRecently featured: Pachygrapsus marmoratusBennuTiharArchiveMore featured pictures
